Telechron Model 8B07 "Baron"

The Telechron model 8B07 was known as the "Baron", and was introduced in 1936.  The version shown here has a black Bakelite case, and a brown Bakelite base.  The chrome face had painted trim which matched the base.  It was also available with an all brown case and brass trim, or a white Plaskon case with a brown base, and chrome trim.  Like its cousin, the GE "New Executive", it was designed by Walter Dorwin Teague, one of the premier industrial designers of the Streamline Age.
